rlmomco {lmomco} | R Documentation

## Random Deviates of a Distribution

### Description

This function generates random deviates for the specified distribution in the parameter object argument. See documentation about the parameter object is seen in `lmom2par` or `vec2par`. The prepended `r` in the function name is to parallel the built-in distribution syntax of R but of course reflects the lmomco name in the function.

### Usage

    rlmomco(n,para)

### Arguments

`n` | Number of samples to generate
`para` | The parameters from `lmom2par` or similar.

### Value

Vector of quantile values.

### Examples

    lmr      <- lmom.ub(rnorm(20)) # generate 20 standard normal deviates
    para     <- parnor(lmr) # estimate parameters of the normal
    simulate <- rlmomco(20,para) # simulate 20 samples using lmomco package

    lmr  <- vec2lmom(c(1000,500,.3)) # first three lmoments are known
    para <- lmom2par(lmr,type="gev") # est. parameters of GEV distribution
    Q    <- rlmomco(45,para) # simulate 45 samples
    PP   <- pp(Q)            # compute the plotting positions
    plot(PP,sort(Q))         # plot the data up
